class
WhiteNoise
(*args)¶ White Noise process.
- Parameters
- distribution
Distribution
Distribution of dimension
of the white noise process.
- mesh
Mesh
, optional Mesh in
over which the process is discretized. By default, the mesh is reduced to one point in
which coordinate is equal to 0.

Notes
A second order white noise
is a stochastic process of dimension
such that the covariance function
where
is the covariance matrix of the process at vertex
and
the Kroenecker function.
A process
is a white noise if all finite family of locations
,
is independent and identically distributed.
Examples
Create a normal normal white noise of dimension 1:
>>> import openturns as ot >>> myDist = ot.Normal() >>> myMesh = ot.IntervalMesher([10]*2).build(ot.Interval([0.0]*2, [1.0]*2)) >>> myWN = ot.WhiteNoise(myDist, myMesh)
Get a realization:
>>> myReal =myWN.getRealization()
